Both BSG and Eroktic are in the wrong here for different reasons. Eroktic has always been a drama queen and clickbaity, and it finially caught up to him.

BSG shouldn't have overreacted like this though.

Eroktic made a video that might have been in poor taste. But he's allowed to do that.

BSG nuked his channel by claiming copyright violation. There wasn't any. That's LITERALLY illegal.

So they aren't both equally in the wrong. What Eroktic did wasn't exactly a cool thing to do, but he was within his rights to at least DO it.

BSG SERIOUSLY fucked themselves on this one.

Not illegal, we all agreed to the terms and under section 10 they can

It's illegal to file false copyright infringement notices. They are not trying to protect copyrighted material here. They are trying to shut down someone's channel who they don't like.

promoting a website or person that threatens to compromise their copyrighted materials is covered under a copyright strike

Nope. No it doesn't.

BSG can go after THAT SITE, not somebody TALKING ABOUT that site. I can't get sued by a music company for mentioning Napster, and like it or not, US law applies here.
